AD CH99

by Aria — Liu Wu's mother stepped out of the car, and Chen Jian continued with the greetings: "Happy New Year, Auntie." Hu Pan and Sun Nana came outside just then. The moment Liu Wu spotted Hu Pan, he bounded over to meet her. "Panpan!" Liu Wu called out. Unable to pull her into a hug, he flailed his arms in the air a few times instead. "You've gotten even prettier!" "Whoa, really?" Hu Pan said. "I think so too." Sun Nana added with a smile, "Probably because working at Dayin is so delightful." She…

AD CH98

by Aria — Although the red envelopes given to the guests were only ten yuan each, the effect was remarkably good. Every guest who came downstairs expressed their gratitude, and the message board was completely filled with "Happy New Year" wishes. Today, two hardworking agritainment farmhouses in the village opened for business, which immediately relieved quite a bit of cooking pressure on the inn. After having dumplings for lunch and prepping ingredients for dinner, Chen Jian accompanied his dad back to the…

AD CH97

by Aria — On the first day of the New Year, Chen Jian woke up on the cafe sofa. Sprawled around him in various states of disarray were all the male staff of Dayin excluding the boss—including his father. Hu Pan and Sun Nana were asleep in the small back room behind the front desk. Calling it "waking up" was generous; he hadn't slept long at all. Going down around five, he was jolted awake by firecrackers at six. Hardly anyone slept on New Year's Eve to begin with. After finishing their dinner, everyone…

AD CH96

by Aria — Shan Yu genuinely didn't know how to wrap dumplings. His parents never made dumplings from scratch; growing up, his holiday memories of dumplings consisted almost entirely of store-bought frozen ones. They had tried making them themselves once. His dad rolled out petal-shaped wrappers, combined with his mom’s "fold-it-in-half" pinching technique, and the moment they hit the boiling water, most of the skins dissolved completely. What they drank that day was thick pork and fennel soup. The reason…

AD CH95

by Aria — Even though Chen Jian felt that half the world was on the verge of finding out, and he certainly didn't look down on people with fewer brain folds, if Lao Wu ended up finding out, it would still leave a strange, indescribable taste in his mouth. —To think even HE knows! That exact feeling. Right now, he couldn't give Lao Wu any room for wild imagination; he had to cook up an excuse on the fly. However, his own brain folds had just weathered an earth-shattering event, smoothing them out…

AD CH94

by Aria — Shan Yu’s question carried an undeniably ambiguous undertone. Under normal circumstances, Chen Jian might not have registered it so keenly, but tonight was different. It was the dead of night, his very first time coming up to Shan Yu's quarters to shower—and Shan Yu had just stepped out of the bath himself, his hair damp and beads of water still clinging to his bare skin... All of these elements woven together created an undeniably charged atmosphere. For a moment, Chen Jian had no idea how…

AD CH93

by Aria — By now, the trunk was already popped open, and Sanbing and the others were actively hauling fireworks out. Chen Jian had no choice but to step out of the car, trailing behind Shan Yu. Under normal circumstances, Shan Yu would swiftly dodge scenes of messy physical labor, standing as far away as possible. Right now, however, he remained planted stubbornly beside the car. Chen Jian followed him over, but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Every time he turned his head to look, Shan Yu averted his face,…

AD CH92

by Aria — Chen Jian was caught off guard by Hu Pan's question, but quickly realized that these two calls might have come from readers of Zhou Lecheng's travel post, given the well-wishing nature of the calls. "What's going on?" he asked, already reaching for his phone. "This caller specifically said to thank Dayin for its gentleness and warmth," Hu Pan said. "So I wondered if he..." As Chen Jian pulled his phone from his pocket, his hands trembled slightly. The words Sanbing had blurted out before echoed in…

AD CH91

by Aria — Actually, Shan Yu wasn't the only one looking forward to the New Year; Chen Jian felt the exact same way. This was the first time in years that he could celebrate such a lively New Year, and he was doing it alongside his father. Standing before his mother's tombstone earlier, he hadn't even been able to hold back from saying: "It's especially lively this year. So many people." Although Shan Yu wasn't very experienced with celebrating the holidays, his enthusiasm was surprisingly high. Officially,…

AD CH90

by Aria — Shan Yu sat in front of the terrarium, crocheting Chen Jian's scarf. Through the glass, he could see Erge tucked behind a piece of bark, half of his head poking out, resting by the edge of the water bowl as he stared back at him. After a little while, Erge laid his head flat on the rim of the dish. Shan Yu leaned in for a closer look—fast asleep. His sleep quality is pretty enviable. Shan Yu stretched, slipped on a jacket, and left the office. Over the past couple of days, the inn had been…
